CEMEX to Provide Industry-Leading Expertise for Projects to Be Developed by Clean Energy Fund

CEMEX, S.A.B. de C.V. (“CEMEX”) (NYSE: CX) announced today that it will
participate in a Clean Energy Fund that is expected to raise
approximately U.S.$300 million through a public offer of Certificados de
Capital de Desarrollo (CKDs, or Capital Development Certificates) in the
Bolsa Mexicana de Valores (Mexican stock exchange) which proceeds will
be invested in a series of clean energy projects in Mexico. CEMEX will
provide its industry-leading technical expertise in clean energy
generation to all of the fund’s projects.

CEMEX’s participation in the Clean Energy Fund will be limited to the
management and advisory activities under the guidance of a technical
committee and the certificate holders meeting of the projects authorized
by the fund, not exercising control, and limiting its participation to a
minority equity stake not exceeding 10% in the sponsored projects.
Therefore, neither the fund nor the sponsored projects will be
consolidated into the CEMEX balance sheet.

CEMEX will offer its experience in energy projects, from initial
planning to development and ongoing operation. As part of its
responsibilities, CEMEX will provide a team of professionals with
experience in energy related projects, an extensive network of contacts,
assistance in negotiating and closing these type of transactions,
proficiency in optimizing capital structures, and knowledge of the
different stages of a project’s life cycle.

“As part of CEMEX’s energy strategy, we have been industry pioneers in
the use of clean energy and alternative fuels," said Dr. Luis Farías,
CEMEX Vice-President for Energy and Sustainability. “We want to use this
knowledge to continue to help build a more sustainable future.”
